If you had enough evidence to know that God is real, would you love Him or hate Him or what?

I used to be atheist. I now believe in something bigger than myself. My father passed away last year. I stayed with him during the wake, and after everyone left, it was just the 2 of us. After the funeral, and everyone was gone, I finally slept, and I got to talk with him in my dream. Even though he had passed, he was still trying to save me.

And my dog passed this last July. We took him to our ancestral land and buried him. A week later, I was at home, and I heard him sneeze, like he always used to sneeze. It freaked me the hell out.

Is god real? I have no idea. But there is something out there, and I now believe in a afterlife.

Man, I dream about my dead dog all the time. I really loved him and I always brush it off as just missing the good buddy that he was. But it is a strange feeling...

After our dog died I saw her too, or thought to see her now and then while fully awake. It's a natural process, familiar patterns combined with loss. Sounds can trigger strong memories too. The brain likes to pattern match stuff all the time and the more you crave something to quicker you'll recognize something close.

After studying cognitive science I've never trusted my own mind anymore :)
